It's an interesting take on the shift in direction. I wonder if that "60s and 70s" approach actually translates to the things we're seeing on our own high streets today, or if it's just political nostalgia for the folks at the top.

Interesting take by Glasman. I wonder what the actual membership growth ratio looks like compared to the mid-2010s slump to prove this "comeback" isn't just rhetoric? Would love to see the hard data on voter retention across the different demographics. Does Times News have the source for those polling shifts?

Spot on, Cal! It really does feel like there's a new spark in the air, and I suspect that shift in energy is exactly what will make the difference.

Absolute cracker of an analysis! That bit about the party coming back from the dead is a bold call. Definitely feels like the energy has shifted. Who do you reckon is the real driving force behind this comeback? Let me know below!
